Transition

Primary School to Eltham Hill School

We aim to ensure that all Year 6 students have a smooth, enjoyable start to their secondary school. We do this in a number of ways:

Student and family have a one-to-one meeting with a member of staff prior to starting

All Year 6 students have two induction “taster days” which take place in July. These days are a chance to experience life as a Year 7 student, together with a full programme of activities, which are both exciting and reassuring

The opportunity to take part in our Summer School

Our Year 7 Pastoral Manager and Year Leader for Year 7 visit all Greenwich Primary Schools so that Year 5 and 6 students are familiar with them.

Quotes from Pupils

Here are just a few things some of our Year 7 students said about their transition experience to Eltham Hill School:

“I felt scared at first as I came from a really small school. But now I love Eltham Hill. The teachers are kind and caring and encourage me to be the best person I can be.” – Mia Dawkins 7E

“I felt nervous and scared as I was the only one coming to EH from my primary school. I have made lots of friends and I’m very happy.” – Sky James 7M

“At the start of year 7 I felt nervous and excited at the same time. I was looking forward to all the new opportunities and new experiences I would be introduced to. Teachers are kind which helps me to learn. I have also made lots of friends.” – Tawa Adebayo 7E

“I really wanted to come to Eltham Hill as my sisters are here and they love it. I knew I would feel safe. I was the only one from my primary school who came to EH so I was shy and afraid I wouldn’t make friends. I have made lots of friends from all different primary schools. My favourite lesson is Drama it’s fun! I want to be an actress when I’m older so being part of Drama is my first steps towards my dream.” – Shayna Shah 7S

“At the start, I was afraid I wouldn’t make friends, but I have and Eltham Hill is not at all scary. The teachers are always calm and they look after me. I’m really glad I came to Eltham Hill!” – Catrin McDonald 7L
